Info on Blackton and Gottage Knives? (from Michigan)

[C-TAC]

Is anyone familiar with Gottage Knives or Blackton Knives (both from Michigan)?
I saw these at a pawn shop and I was impressed, especially with the double edged Bowie.

Gottage, they were a knife making family from Michigan. Judy and Dante. Dante, I think made your knife, Judy mostly made folders. Dante was active 70's - 1995. I see he passed away a few years ago.

Andy Blackton is the other knife, it has to be before 1987. He moved to Florida after that, he died in 2007.

Wow, thanks for the info!
I thought he might be a different Blackton, since everything I saw mentioned Florida.
